The Gold Hunt - Track and Field in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Anju George, that's it. Rest of them, if did extremely well, can come 6th or 7th. The long jumper, till date remains our biggest hope for a medal in Athens. She will be the flag bearer as well. With out any doubt she is a rarety beacause Track and Field has never been India's forte but a Bronze in the Manchester Commonwealth Games, a Gold at the Busan A

Reply to Kick Me, Suck Me - I am an IT Professional in Current Events JoeUser Forums

These guys think that they can play the ball. Too much attention and respect have been given to them than they actually deserve. At first ,they started vilifying Banglore, the place they have been running their business. Now they are advising governments. Super rich diet of democracy has such demirits.

Kick Me, Suck Me - I am an IT Professional in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There is a saying in Hindi - Dian Bhi Do Ghar Chhod Ker Shikar Kerti Hai ( Even a witch, when she goes fetching for her prey, she skips her neighbourhood and acquaintances). Azim Premji, the whole and soul Wipro empire, is even worse than a witch. Why? This is why . Two days back Mr Premji have <a href="http://sify.com/finance/fullstory.php?id=13541

The Gold Hunt - Weight Lifting in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

If you are banking on it, then you can't be blamed. But apart number one ranked Malleshwari, forget about others. Here is the reason behind it. That day they were showing an interview of Kunjurani Devi on some news channel . She was asked about her preparation. Her reply gave me a thorough jolt. According to her, representing her country in the Olympic

The Prank Which Went Too Far in Humor JoeUser Forums

Yesterday I was watching MTV Bakra , which reminded me of a funny incident which happened a long time ago. There are some pranks which are unusual and some pranksters who are even more unusual. This post is about one such prank and prankster. I was in X standard, so it was time for our first board examination. Ours was the ICSE board, which along

Hi olikara "poor hostage's family's emotions come alive in our drawing rooms and that's what we want" Well, that's very sadistic. Try to put yourself in the situation. "And yes we do know how a losing captain feels but who wouldn't want to hear it from the horse's mouth" When this 'Horse' gonna speak to every second channel on every thrid day, there are many a "who" , who don't want to hear it anymore.

The Gold Hunt - Tennis in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Ask me one player whom I could bet my life on and my answer would be Leander Paes. He does not give his 100 % percent when playing for the country, rather he gives 300%. What else one could explain the reason behind his phenomenal success in Davis Cups? He plays the game with passion and when plays for the country, this passion manifolds. ATP rankings don't d

<i> Kaisa Mahsoos Ker Rahe Hain </i>? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The more I watch these news channels (especially the vernacular ones) , the more I get irritated. The above mentioned heading is their favourite punch line these days. They seem to have nothing else to ask or do. Not that they care about what poor victims of their attraction really mahsoos about the whole situation. It's just that they want to make news.<br

The Gold Hunt - Hockey in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

For quiet a few, the heading it self may seem far fetched, me included. I want to assess the realistic chances of India attaining any medal at Athens. I begin with Hockey not because India has the maximum chance in it but simply for the historical reasons. We are the country whose national sport is Hockey(the only Gold fetching event so far) and who ha

August <em> Kranti </em> in History JoeUser Forums

Today, Mahatma Gandhi started famous Bharat Chhodo Andolan , in 1942 prompting Britishers to leave 5 years later, eventually. We all remember this from our favourite text books. However, there was another dare-devil act, which took place on same day, 17 years earlier and shook the mighty pride of the British - The Kakori Rail Dacoity , but failed

Reply to The <i> Da Vinci </i> Code in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Hi trina_p > "No he didn't go to Vinci - there's no art there" I think you didn't get the hidden sarcasm in my reply. I know he didn't got to Vinci. I was commenting on the naive comments by Language Stickler. I am very well clear about the book Thanks anyway.

Reply to The <i> Da Vinci </i> Code in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Language Stickler, I am a Programmer, not a Pro in Grammar . My English leaves a lot to be desired - My English language teacher also used to say that. My French also leaves a lot be desired. I don't know what is 'Da' or 'Vinci' . I haven't studied French, so that's explain's it. But hey, did you write to Dan Brown as well. Why did he title ' The DA Vinci Code'. Obviously, there were no clues in the place

Intellectuals and academics have always been the problem in our country. They live in their own world. The least said about the journalists the better. I am working as a software enginner in Pune. Where are you located these days?

Landlord : "So you are from UP ?" Myself : I thought he might get frightened and shoo me off, therefore I decid
